Why do so many people have the habit of spitting on the street?

    You know that moment of knowing the answers, but you can't say anything because it goes right against the common idea or opinion? Well, that is my position. Right now.

    I am a spitter. One who hurls up the slimey contents of the sinuses, rolls it through the mouth and carefully spits it into a sewage pit or the gutter. I know, it doesn't make any friends and is socially not accepted, but think about it for a second. No genitals are exposed to the public, it's not the type of excrement that smells and it is a less dirty way of getting rid of those pesky bacteria and their garbage. Sure, swallowing does the trick, too. And during social gatherings, inside a building or while walking with the girlfriend, it is just that what happens.

    So, am I a hard rugged, cowboy-like, anti-social spitting everywhere I possibly can? Nope. But once in a while I am. For the relief. Because I can.

      Well, I see people of all kinds of ages doing this.

    Presumably it's because they are too squeamish to swallow gunky sputum. If I ruled the world I would make them lick it up.

    Any spitters care to let us know why? I think it's like littering, but with your own bodily fluids.
